UGA Recruiting Under Mark Richt (Stats Galore)

Richt has not had trouble attracted talent to UGA/WSBRadio.com

Mark Richt has been at Georgia from 2001-2013 by the longest current tenure in the SEC. The Bulldogs have consistently recruited at a high level under Richt as the below stats illustrate.

To illustrate just how long Richt has been in Athens, he is now on his fourth opposing coach in Knoxville.

Those two points are not simply by coincidence. Tennessee regularly raided Georgia in the 90s and also not coincidentally beat UGA regularly. When Richt arrived he began to shut the Vols out of the state and their program began to fall while the Bulldogs rose.

Some of that talent recruited to play in Sanford Stadium has been character reaches for a man deep in his faith. The 38 arrests are a regular occurrence and in addition to questionable recruiting decisions can also be attributed to lax discipline policy likely learned from his mentor Bobby Bowden.

To Richt's credit he has toughened up his stance dismissing more players as of late and I think that discipline has been displayed on the field with 22 wins over the last two season. My guess is Richt has already a discussion with signee Davin Bellamywho was photographed on a official visit to Oregon in a room with drug paraphernalia.

UGA had 298 recruits sign LOIs since CMR was hired 13 years ago, an average of 22.9 recruits per year; fwiw, the average star rating per recruit = 3.4765 stars (coincidentally, this is virtually the same star rating per signee for the Class of 2013)
